Detailed Project Description

As you can see we heavily focus on the topic of human pollution and how this will eventually affect the planet. We wish to extend awareness about the issue so it can finally be solved once and for all. Personally we believe that in order for people to pay attention they need something fun and interactive which this comic is. Being an interactive resource that allows for the reader to stay focused and they can understand the story better.

Hackathon Journey

The "Moon Knights" team would like to express their feelings about this year's hackathon. We belive it has been a great experience for us to have, being a fun challenge in which we have proven to each other that we are: dedicated, innovative, creative and overall perserverant. As a team we have grown with the struggles we had in the way, but in the end we were able to make it through with what we believe is a great product.
